This hotel is a rarity. Family owned and run for 70 years, it's perfect. Not 'bijout' or 'smart' but honest. No uniformed resceptionist but a family member or friend. No standing on ceremony or 'have a nice day' style sincerity. Fantastic breakfast with fruit, meats, cheeses, home-made preserves, made to order egg dishes and plenty of strong coffee, all at a modest price. All served around a very clean and blue pool. Cosy. And, to cap it all, our room on the second floor had 180 degree views of the Alpilles including the famour Van Gogh rock with 'devil' eyes and only a 15 minute walk to the famous Van Gogh hospital where you can visit his room and see one of the views that so inspired him and, to add to the excitement and 10 minutes further on the phenominal Glanum site, a Roman town dug out of a field and opposite carved Triumphal arches better than any. St Remy de Provence really is a 5 star location and this hotel is a perfect base.

Having to leave.

Friendly staff, excellent location and I had a lovely view of the Alpilles from my room. Room was clean and well-presented. I liked the bedside lamps which enabled me to recharge my phone via the usb point, without the need for cumbersome adaptors from UK devices.

I always like to make tea in my room. I was disappointed that the room did not have a tray of coffee/tea making facilities - unlike other hotels of a similar standard, I stayed at during my stay. As a single traveller- this allows me to retreat to my room and relax with my own tea! For me this would have made the hotel first class and excellent value for money - but I did not give an excellent rating, since this facility was not provided. I would urge the management to re-think this policy- or at least offer this to guests who request it.

Warm and friendly owners and staff. Room small but perfectly formed. A bit of dust around the radiator in the bathroom but otherwise very clean. Comfortable bed and a good view of the mountains from the window. Plenty of garden areas to sit in the shade with a drink or a coffee and a lovely sunny terrace and swimming pool. The breakfast was absolutely excellent. Great choice of savoury and sweet, fresh fruit and juices and lashings of good coffee! Free secure parking too! Easy walking distance to St Remy centre. Highly recommended!

Nothing!

Hotel staff and proprietors were kind, thoughtful, and caring. They adjusted our room to accommodate my disability. Very clean rooms and surrounding public spaces well cared for and looked recently updated with fresh paint and flooring. King size bed was a good size for my 6’6” husband. Excellent location - an easy 8-10 minute walk to the town centre and 20 minutes to the Glanum ruins and the hospital that Vincent Van Gogh lived in the last year of his life. Secure parking was worry free.

Bed and pillow comfort could be improved. As with many places in the region smoking is allowed in open areas- at the property smokers dominated the pool area, terrace, and garden lounge. For us it was just too much smoke..

Having stayed at another 3 Star property in Avignon the night before I must say that Le Castelet des Alpilles was a delightful surprise and by far superior in every way. Very clean, quiet and comfortable with great personal service from all the the management and staff who spoke confidently in English. It is also very conveniently located within only minutes to the Tourist Information Centre, the Village centre and the Bus Service if you wish to Visit historical attractions within the vicinity.

I have nothing negative to suggest.

Loved our stay at this hotel. We had one of the more modest rooms but totally comfortable. Wonderful breakfast and extremely nice staff. Everything in Saint- Remy-de-Provence is an easy walk from the hotel. We found this to be a great base for exploring Provence. We spent a wonderful afternoon on their patio enjoying a bottle of local wine and tapenade recommended by the wonderful woman at the front desk. Would love to go back.

Cozy nice hotel run by a family. Room was spacious and clean. The swimming pool space was a bit limited but it was a good fun for the kid anyway. Location was good, walking distance from city center.

There was no mini-bar at the room. Internet was quite slow. The A/C unit could barely maintain a comfortable temperature in the room (this was one of the warmest weeks in Europe).

The location was good, about 5 min walk to the Old Town. The room was very clean, the bed was small but comfortable. The outdoor area was nice. Rosa on reception was lovely, her restaurant recommendations were spot on. The breakfast was very nice and there was plenty of it.

There was no fridge in the room, it was very hot while we were there so access to some cold water (tap water was warm) would have been ideal. There was no replacement of the tiny container of shower gel or soap each day, we had one paper cup each to use in the bathroom which was never replaced and we nearly ran out of toilet paper each day, so a few extra supplies of these basic essentials would have been appreciated.

Hotel was very charming. Right when you enter the gates. Beautiful. Hotel has an old school charm and vintage. Breakfast was delicious. Not many choices which is fine because it was excellent.

The only think I didn’t like was the beds. But that’s also personal preference

Quiet hotel away from the hustle and bustle of town but close enough to enjoy. We had a room with a balcony which was fantastic, overlooking the pool. Very friendly staff and handy car parking.

All was good. Would have loved to have had body lotion provided to soothe sunkissed shoulders but that is all.
